These old Kate Spade ads are so beautiful and are exactly what I imagine Franny to look like. (It's a funny coincidence that the girl here is reading "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters")
Such a beautiful bedroom
Anyway, in the story Franny's book was a little novel, but I love the idea of sweet, small notebooks in purses. And since I am a list person, I always carry one around with me to jot down ideas and inspirations as they strike. Ideas for decorating the house. Clothes that I love in the store but want to check online for in case I can get them cheaper elsewhere. Grocery lists. Christmas gift ideas. To do lists. Goals. Dreams. etc. It's a handy little system for me. And it's really fun to look back through old notebooks to see past lists and ideas.
Here are a few of my favorite notebooks:
Paper Source (For even more color options - try binding your own!)
I decided that there are so many beautiful things that I stumble across on the internet that inspire me (and get me REALLY excited about having money again in a year and a half) that I'd start an inspiration journal where I can post about my favorite things and share them with you.
so, i decided that i'd look at your first post to see what ideas you've had and I'm delighted about Salinger. and i always wanted a camel coat.
ReplyDeletePardon my commenting on such an old post, but I've been enjoying your blog so much I decided to go back to the beginning. I'm the same way with lists, and I have an on-going love affair with Moleskine journals. Here's a post I did about mine:

Wow!! I absolutely adore your site. I spent HOURS, up until 3am last night and then got up this morning, looking at your blog from beginning to end! I absolutely love it! And my dear LOVE is not strong enough when coming to described my excitement for this site. I to am addicted to craigslist, ebay, and we have campbellyardsales.com here. They have that site wherever there is a military base. It has the best deals. Anywho thanks so much for such a gr8 blog. My absolute fave!!!
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing as these ladies and after discovering your site, read it start to finish (some nights staying up waaaaay too late). It's not to strong a statement to say this is the best home decorating blog I've found yet, which is saying quite a bit considering I often stay up way too late scouring blogs. Thank you for all the inspiration and ideas. You are truly talented and the minute I have enough money, I will hire you to design every room in my house!
ReplyDeleteyep, I did the same. I found your blog maybe a week ago (?) and I've read it all now. You are talented! I feel just like you: a rich girl trapped in a poor girl's bank account, and I'm definately inspred to do some major DIY projects now after reading your blog.
